About Eric Winger

Our perception of time is key to how we use our time. The most fundamental way to change that perception is to give our time. This opens us up to new opportunities and ideas from which we can build to really make a difference. ... Yes, we *do* have time to make a difference!

OMG….I can’t believe this…I hadn’t seen about this until I googled after just reading your post…I am simply stunned and appalled…an elementary school???… elementary schools are the sites of the most goodness and kindness I’ve ever witnessed….young children, nurturing teachers and principals…pure goodness. (with a variety of teachers, children, parents and reactions, of course)
I had posted after the Colorado murders this summer… but had taken a bit out of the post a few months later, so that it wasn’t specific to that event. http://pocketperspectives.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/why-why-do-people-do-what-they-do-causes-lead-to-effects-acceptable-levels-of-risk/
Shootings in an elementary school is a whole other level of insane violence… I am so sorry. I am simply stunned.

I added a link to here in the comments part of my post from today… perhaps combining the ideas of kindness and compassion (in the Friday Wishes) and a REFUSAL l to tolerate this violence…that would be the “compassionate warrior” idea…standing up for what it right and refusing to turn the other way…Eric, we need your voice…I know it’s a strong and articulate voice…please use it well. We need you…the children need you…we all need you to use the powerful voice that you’ve been developing…the time is here, the time is now. Please speak firmly, loudly, clearly.

powerful words. We each need to continue to stand in light and grace and to join together to heal our world. It is our game, our shame, our power to unite and usher in a world of compassion and kindness for all.

Eric, I passed your poem along to several people and groups. I asked those I passed it along to, to pass it along to others, if they so wished. There is a man I met this past weekend, Dave Meggyesy who is starting to create groups and workshops specifically for men, to encourage men in pursuing vision, expanded sense of purpose and connection with other “like minded” men. Perhaps with compassion, effort and a sense of urgency of time, these ideas will spread and lead to more positive influence. They potential sure is present. ( maybe I’ll email you with Dave’s email address…I think it would be very positive and beneficial to many others for the 2 of you to connect)
